  1. Why does only nursing have to put the patients first?

    enchantmentdis replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    One reason why i now do hospice is because i CAN MAKE ancillaries do their jobs: Can make the chaplain visit a family that is not coping well even though i am still present, can tell the HHA to come...

  2. So Sick of Pushy Patients and Verbal Abuse

    enchantmentdis replied to applesRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Most of these folks don't have a pot to **** in or or a window to throw it outta. Suffered fifteen years in acute care trying to reason with cretins. No more. Hospice nursing is a dream. I fix the...

  5. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    enchantmentdis replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I notice you have the decency to get off the mother effing floor, stand up, pull up those ridiculous hip-hop pants, and look ashamed when the doctor (male) or any other male for that manner comes in...

    enchantmentdis replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You just told me your mom choked and sputtered on food and fluids and that doctor said she had aspiration pneumonia. The patient is unable to hold her head up. You, a pharmacist no less, actually...

    enchantmentdis replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Gosh, after dealing with you and all of your trailer trash family members all day, it sounds as if i will apply for that mortuary science program after all. Dead folks won't annoy me as much as you...

  8. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    enchantmentdis replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    As an on call hospice nurse i am supposed to pull out my computer and document while i am in the patient's home, nursing home, ALF, or board and care. I have tried it numerous times to get the...

  10. After 15 years - I may be one more nurse to add to the shortage

    enchantmentdis replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP--give yourself a break and do hospice on call work--you will get paid the hourly rate and be available after hours to care for patients. You will never have to watch other staff not do their...

  11. I like learning about diseases but hate nursing

    enchantmentdis replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    I whole-heartedly understand what you said in your post. And it is great that you are honest with yourself and don't plan to stay in depressing hospital nursing. You are very smart for trying to find...

    enchantmentdis replied to ladytopaz56's topic in General Nursing

    No, she is not confused. She is a manipulative prig. I admire the visitor for telling this big baby off. She needed to be put in her place. It's a shame that you have to lose sleep over such an

    enchantmentdis replied to ladytopaz56's topic in General Nursing

  19. Lots of young people on disability?

    enchantmentdis replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Exactly, if a pt vomits just once i don't rush to call the doctor saying pt vomited. I often tell patient's lets see if it happens again before we beg the doctor for yet another medicine for you. GOOD...

  20. Lots of young people on disability?

    enchantmentdis replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Right on, well said. And besides, if these folks STAY ON THEIR BLANKING MEDS they can work just like the rest of us. Bipolar doesn't have to be high drama or an emergency on a daily basis; and is...
